Various Types of Savings Banks
How to Save Money. English-only reading by default; switch among English, Chinese, and Spanish, or compare languages side by side.
Chapter summary
This chapter examines Various Types of Savings Banks, using the author’s early-twentieth-century investment framework to explain how investors were expected to judge security quality, income, risk, and market conditions. It opens from the chapter’s own discussion: Not all savings banks are conducted on the same basis. In New York and a few other states the only institutions which are permitted by law to call themselves “savings” banks are the mutual savings banks.
Modern reader note
Read this chapter as historical investment education. The market rules, disclosure practices, securities, commissions, interest-rate conditions, and investor protections around saving, Various, Types may differ sharply from modern markets.
